Gallery photos

I have noticed many of the photos in the gallery are marked from deleted user. A lot of them are from questionable user names. Are they there because the user photos are not good enough? The photos in the groups that I belong to seem fine to me. Maybe they are not so professional looking but, they seem more genuine. Is there a way to sort out the deleted photos at least?

The gallery definitely has an oddly commercial feel to it.

Joe Scumbag joins TN. Joe Scumbag is immediately allowed to post pictures to the gallery (They do have to be approved by TT2, but many questionable ones seem to get approved) and any groups that do not require a moderator to approve his joining and postings. Joe Scumbag gets deleted for being a scumbag. All his media postings stay. At one time any postings to the forum or groups would be deleted along with the account, but I think they stay now too.

I think the gallery photos are there just to see if someone will pay to see them as most likely 90%+ will be taken of other web sites and one of the reasons they try to get people to join this site is to look at these photos. So yes the more photos the better even if they aren't the right type.

I've just clicked on the gallery and it showed me 18 thumbnail pics. Every single one featured a naked woman and in all but two of those pictures the women were around 25 years old.

And that's the problem right there, middle age men suddenly become naturists when they see this and think that they will see lots of young naked women at a nude beach or resort.

So true... yet so wrong! Great insight there....!

I quit looking at gallery photos early on after joining TN. It quickly became apparent that almost all the pics were not of members, and I didn't find them all that interesting. I saw one photo of a porn star famous in the 70s. That didn't seem consistent with a True Nudist sensibility.

I actually saw a picture of a friend of ours in the gallery. It was a random picture taken at festival. No big deal just odd seeing someone you know that isn't member. Like I said it's no big deal as I know she wouldn't care but some other girls would.

The gallery seems more an advertisement of a nude resort than a real gallery of real people
